    Where are the photographs that you said you have of the Tiananmen Square massacre?

    There’s video footage of tanks leaving the square and trying their hardest not to run over “tank man” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YeFzeNAHEhU

    Also there’s a PBS Frontline Documentary that, albeit having a western slant, is telling vastly different story than what gets regurgitated on Reddit and other parts of lemmy

    That was the documentary I was referring to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Gtt2JxmQtg

      Western news is about vibes and clicks, not accurate reporting.

      Tank man provided a good photo, but the video that shows him getting dragged away by other protestors doesn’t tell the same story.
